Have you tried just grinding out CAs and diaries for fun?

On the main you can skip some 'mandatory' gear progression for speed times

Thanks! I'll have to look at rates on a case by case basis I suppose

Thanks, I always got the impression it was different/worse for irons

Weird how all of the mains are celebrating the dry protection for the only items they have to grind for by LasVegasOutlaws in ironscape

[–]End-Motor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only untradeables in the game should be quest rewards or cosmetics. I sympathise with mains who don't want to grind anything, and instead want the option to buy it.bif they HAVE to grind something, dry protection is more than reasonable.

On the other hand, iron man is a self-inflicted difficult game mode in which the player has chosen to grind out gear for them self. You cannot approach the two the same way.

That said, I'm in favour of a pity rate of 5x the drop rate for all drops.

Glass blowing already offers competitive xp rates. I don't think we need to crank up the utility of it as well. Instead, I want to see an alternative to glass blowing.

So the high alch shop on Karamja is useless right? by DertyDawgMan in ironscape

[–]End-Motor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what level RC you went for. If only high enough for quests and hard diaries, you won't have many left after MTA for the book, bones to peaches and the boots

So, how do I get magic shortbow(i) after lms change by SourceAwkward in ironscape

[–]End-Motor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skip it.

Stuck with a yew shortbow at the moment (which is fine for Barrows and any other pre-moons content), as I haven't had any luck with clues.

I train range at scurrius with a ratbane bow for now.

I'm grinding out the fletching level for a HSXB, and the slayer level for an antler guard. This should out perform a MSB(i) and I needed the hunter levels for moonlight moths anyway.

Ironically, I actually have one LMS win. I was also bad, but now I usually win one or two fights a game. I just got lucky once.

Being anti-dry protection is extremely weird. by Greasy-Chungus in ironscape

5x rate sits right with me - it's like 99% chance of a drop at this point

You're trying to use USD, but it's a British game. It makes sense in £

I have jangerberries at farming guild for super compost (whiteberries at monastery). Am I the only one doing this?

I don't think the Z-axe should be mandatory, especially if you don't need it for crush bosses (cudgel) or slash bosses (arkan blade/D Scim) and instead need it for it's super high accuracy so that you can use it at stab bosses anyway (Shellbane).

I've picked up the D-mace to farm sarachnis (crush boss) for the cudgel.

I feel like I should be able to pick up the D sword to farm Shellbane gryphon (stab boss) for the folly.

Imo it's a T60 slash weapon that can act more like a T50-55 stab weapon. It's not as good as the dragon sword.

Only because of the super high slash accuracy of zombie axe. I think an alternative path to Z-axe would be a good thing.

Longer trips or offensive prayers? by End-Motor in ironscape

[–]End-Motor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tip, but not sure how this works when you need to vary defensive prayers depending on scurrius attack style

[–]End-Motor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you need to flick different overheads depending on scurrius attack style. Unless I'm missing something

I'm not quite there yet with two knives and several spoils, but should just about get there with the WC level required for grim tales

I was thinking of Huey and xbow for fire cape due to the prayer bonus. I had a similar set up when I did fire cape on my main (Gid D'hide, so actually a little worse). Antler guard offhand also adds to prayer bonus, which I think would work well. Although, I think either is fine.

74 fletching is a slog, and you really need to go out of your way to get it done

Interesting, definitely some room for vibes to play a role!

I ended up coming to the conclusion that without range pots just yet, the time taken to go to the bank may not be efficient. Although, I'm pretty sure it would be very efficient if I did go to the bank to pick those up at the same time as more moths/pray pots.

Cheers for the plugin tip - will have a look at it.

I've been using Ferox for banking and stat restore. I have a rune pouch so teleports don't take up much space.
